I have a 2019 Ford Edge with about 68,000 miles on it that is having transmission issues. The dealer has said it needs a new torque converter. However, they cannot guarantee it will be covered by the warranty. I am [XXX], and cannot afford this if I end up having to pay for it!! After researching 2019 Ford Edge issues online, I see that there are MANY with the same issue, and that having it repaired does not fix the problem - it will happen again! If the transmission fails while I am driving it will be a huge safety risk for me and drivers around me. It is not shifting correctly, and causing me to not be able to speed up when necessary which puts me and others at risk. There are no warning or engine lights on at this time. This is a known problem and Ford should fix it!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I purchased vehicle 4/11/2023 with 41,000 miles. I started to experience concerns with acceleration periodically and clunking in the rear end prior to warranty ending, ford dealership inspector stated that they didn’t find anything. After 80, 000 miles it occurred more often, shuttering between 2-3rmps. Lack of ability to accelerate was a safety concern. A different Ford Dealership inspector reported torque converter clutch stuck open and circuit.Fluid drained indicating debris and heavy metallic and dark, prior to recommended ford manual service.

The transmission failed - completely out of the blue, unexpectedly without warning.The vehicle has been maintained, oil changes on schedule, all recommended service work up to date. No issues whatsoever prior to this incident. While driving on interstate highway at 75 mph (posted speed limit = 75 mph) in traffic across three lanes, vehicle began shifting gears indiscriminately while engine was revving and simultaneously the vehicle was losing power. Driver changed lanes, put on flashers, pulled over to shoulder of highway. After pulling over, the warning light came on and message said, "shift sys fault," followed by a reference to see manual. We researched the messages using smart phones and looked in manual. We determined the vehicle needed service. After 15-20 min, we restarted the vehicle and drove 23-25 miles to auto shop. We parked the vehicle at the shop. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection. The independent service technician / owner investigated for 10 days consulting specialist, ran computer software updates for purpose of diagnosis, and determined the transmission needs replaced. He recommended taking the vehicle to the dealership to confirm. We scheduled an appointment at the local dealership, paid diagnostic fee, and received confirmation recommending new transmission. There were NO warning lamps, NO messages, NO indication of problems prior to failure. They first appeared on this drive. Our safety and the safety of others was at risk due to the high speed (our rate of speed and the rate of other vehicles around us at the time). In addition, the immediate loss of power without warning, the engine revving, gear shifting, loss of control etc. We were fortunate we were able to pull over safely, and to proceed at low speed with blinkers.

2019 Ford Edge Titatnium is experiencing shudder/buck/jerk while driving up to 35 mph as described in Technical Service Bulletin 21-2081. Dealership said it sounds like the same issue but for some reason my VIN is not part of the recall so they will not check without paying. Dealership asked me to contact Ford directly but they could not assist.I believe this is a safety risk as the shudder/jerking is intensifying and I'm afraid it could stall when driving in traffic resulting in bodily injury.No warning lamps or messages or other symptoms prior to start of issue.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Two separate instances where this vehicle (2019 Ford Edge Titanium) completely shut down. The first, unfortunately, was in traffic while navigating a rotary. The second less intense event was in while parking. Eventually, the vehicle did restart and we were able to get it home. This looks to be an extension of a problem Ford thought was fixed -- related to the cannister purge valve (front) remaining stuck open. I say this because a cheap scanner tool revealed code P0496, and we experienced one of the primary symptoms (rough start after filling gas tank).

Car buck and jerks, unexpected low speed and sometimes hi speed, never know what is going to happen when you hit the gas or brake. Ford wants to replace transmission. Car has 55,500 miles, this should be a known defect. Ford refuses to fix under any warranty, This is a very dangerous defect. I have seen many people complain with this same defect.

In May/2024- driving on Xway—“wrench” appeared as warning. I was in rural area & called Ford dealer 2 1/2 hrs away. They confirmed the Ford Pass warning was torque converter. I was told I could drive it home as long as I drive slower, ie: 60 mpg. Took it in to dealer, Trans tech confirmed torque converter @ fault. Replaced it, I drove the car off lot after 3 weeks in the shop. Still felt hesitancy. Took it back, Trans tech said it was the valve body. Replaced, but still hesitating. Tech said fluid may have “particles” in trans fluid. Flushed. Still not driving smoothly per service manager My 2019 Edge has been in Ford dealership since 5/6/24. It is now 7/29/24.

Unable to engage and maintain 1st gear on any grade. The design of the rotary shifter eliminated the 1st from the gear shifter leaving only paddle shifting and Sport mode. While in Sport mode with paddle shifters engaged, the car automatically shifts to 2nd gear at 4mph and around 900-1000 rpm (just above idle). When trying to downshift, the gear just flashes, making me unable to downshift to first gear. This forces the frequent engaging of brakes at steep grades, leading to brake overheating and potential brake failure. The design is a safety issue. First gear is an absolute necessity in certain situations and Ford has disabled my ability to use it.

While driving on a 65 mph road the car quit accelerating and the speed dropped quickly. This unexpected change in speed experienced by a young driver almost caused her to be rear ended and others to have an accident swerving around her. The check engine light came on right as this happened. Dealership replaced EGR Cooler but it did not fix the problem. Vehicle is jerking and shuddering during acceleration.

Torque converter malfunction confirmed through transmission shop. When problem initially presented it would intermittenly lag when pressing the accelerator. That turned into a constant jerk/shudder during driving with it being severely pronounced during any kind of acceleration in any gear. The problem only got worse and did so quickly. On several occasions I experienced enough lag that I was almost hit due to the delay in the car moving. I then had to leave ample time to turn in the event the car didn't engage again. The problem was confirmed through an independent transmission shop and is currently up for repair and a Ford dealership. The symptoms were present for 8 months without the car ever throwing a code. It never indicated needing any service.

Was having some jerking and spudding when starting from a stop until getting above 30mph.No warnings or lights of any kind. Had a rough start one morning and the engine light came on. Took it to a Ford dealer and was told that coolant is leaking into #4 cylinder and we basically need a new engine. No warnings or anything prior to this one time and getting a health check on the Ford App about a Misfire. Miles 103,400
